Thank you for your interest . I have worked with people from birth to 70 who came from a range of backgrounds and faced a variety of challenges in their lives. I have supervised many adults during this time in both clinical and non clinical settings. I am a licensed Psychologist in New York State
I believe in people's ability to overcome the problems and challenges in their life. If you worked with me, I would help you would understand that everyone has problems, most of us have many problems and we all have strengths, sometimes unrealized. I would help you understand the problems you are facing in the context of your current situation and life stage. I would work with you as a partner and together we would identify ways in which you are not utilizing your strengths to deal with your challenges. We would create a plan together that meets you needs and addressees your hopes and dreams for the future. Many people struggle as they cope with change and transitions in their lives. I would help you understand all the factors that are contributing to your current situation and provide tools that you can use to effectively deal with the problems. My goal is always to assist with helping your become the best version of yourself.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
